The synergistic effects of cinnamon essential oil and nano TiO2 on antimicrobial and functional properties of sago starch films

Recent advances in starch‐based films toward food packaging applications: Physicochemical, mechanical, and functional properties

“…Most of the research on starch has been conducted with starch from various cereal grains, potatoes, and cassava because of their ubiquitous production around the world. However, more niche agricultural products like sago, quinoa, mung beans, taro, and even black pepper have also gained attention recently (Abdorreza & Abd Karim, 2013;Arezoo, Mohammadreza, Maryam, & Abdorreza, 2020;Asria, 2016;Chanjarujit, Hongsprabhas, & Chaiseri, 2018;Gutierrez, 2017;Gutierrez & Gonzalez, 2016;Kittipongpatana et al, 2006;Naseri, Shekarchizadeh, & Kadivar, 2019;Zhu, Mojel, & Li, 2017). A recent publication analyzed various pumpkin, lentil, and quinoa starches and found that films prepared from these starches were comparable to potato starch films, emphasizing the potential to utilize a seemingly endless number of agricultural products to produce sustainable, starch-based films (Pajak, Przetaczek-Roznowska, & Juszczak, 2019).…”

Development of starch based intelligent films by incorporating anthocyanins of butterfly pea flower and TiO2 and their applicability as freshness sensors for prawns during storage

“…TiO 2 can be used to make biopolymer-based packaging lms to provide protection against food-borne micro-organisms and allergens in the presence of ultraviolet radiation. 20,21 The anti-microbial activity of TiO 2 is related to reactive oxygen species production. 21 The use of TiO 2 nanoparticles as reinforcement in biopolymer lms such as whey protein isolate, 22 wheat starch, 21 soy protein isolate, 23 poly(L-lactic acid) 24 etc.…”

“…The incorporation of TiO 2 nanoparticle also improved the water vapour and oxygen permeability of lms. 20 In this work intelligent packaging lms were prepared from potato starch, anthocyanin pigment extracted from buttery pea Flower and TiO 2 . We studied the interesting and promising effect of immobilised anthocyanin and TiO 2 pigment on the properties of starch based lms.…”

Preparation and Characterization of Bio-Based PLA/PBAT and Cinnamon Essential Oil Polymer Fibers and Life-Cycle Assessment from Hydrolytic Degradation

“…Antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil (CEO) for food preservation has been tested against many fungi and bacteria as a natural an economic alternative to conventional fungicides and bactericides. The physicochemical, barrier, mechanical, and antimicrobial activity of sago-starch films incorporated with cinnamon essential oil and TiO 2 nanoparticles were studied by Arezoo et al [22]. They found that the mechanical properties were improved and the bionanocomposite showed an important antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus.…”
